Save a site as a template when the option is not available

Save a site as a template when the option is not available - SharePoint 2010

The option (under Site actions, site settings) to Save Site as Template exists for a team site, but not a collaboration site.  To use that function anyway you'll need to hand edit your URL

http://sharepoint.name/site1/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx

Simply hand add everything from  _layouts onward to access this hidden page.

Setting SharePoint announcements to auto delete after expiration

Setting announcements to auto delete after expiration One thing that always bugged me was the expiration date attached to an Announcement list that does nothing out of the box.

The work around is code, but if there are non-developers creating flows, then this process is even more cumbersome. As a result, the Flow below will do the heavy lifting using a separate list and then anyone can populate that list from a different Flow when such a thing is needed. First step: create the list Here’s the input needed in this list. List: The name of the list SiteLink: The link to the site (trim off /lists/xyzlist) IDFromSource: This is the internal ID of the item to update FieldToUpdate: The name of the field you want to update. This is case sensitive. ValueForField: What you want to set it to. Next, create the Flow. Here’s what it will look like   When a Shar...
